STM is committed to helping users of the STM Sites understand the information STM collects, how it uses that information, the choices users have about the way their information is used, and the precautions STM takes to protect information concerning its users. This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the STM Sites only, and covers information collected on or through the STM Sites. When using other STM sites, we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy controlling that particular site.

A. Information We Collect.STM collects personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit in various contexts including, but not limited t (1) the registration or account creation process for the STM Sites; (2) the registration process for sweepstakes, contests, and other online promotions offered on the STM Sites; (3) your participation in online research surveys offered on the STM Sites; (4) the process to report a problem with STM Sites and resolving customer service activities (including via email and chat), and (5) in connection with content submissions, voting and polling activities. Such personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number.When you visit the STM Sites, our servers automatically collect information that describes how you use the STM Sites (which pages you visit and how long you stay, plus the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, data that identifies the page you visited prior to and after your visit to an STM Site, and your IP address). We also may determine what technology is available through your browser so we can serve you the most appropriate version of a page.Cookies are small information files that STM Sites may place on your computer to provide extended functionality. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking how visitors use the STM Sites, limiting multiple responses to polls or surveys, and recording your member registration information. Cookies (including beacons), by themselves, do not provide STM with personally identifiable information unless you choose to voluntarily provide this information to us by, for example, registering on an STM Site. However, once you choose to furnish us with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. You can turn off cookies in your web browser (see your browser’s manual or help file for instructions), but if you do turn off cookies you may not be able to access parts of the STM Sites where cookies are used.You should be aware that advertisers or other third parties serving content on the STM Sites may set and access their own cookies on your computer. We don’t have control over cookies placed by third parties. Such third parties’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy. Such third parties do not have access to our cookies.An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or network when you’re on the Internet. It’s usually associated with the place you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your school. When you visit pages on an STM Site, our servers log your IP address. We collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration and to keep track of the number of visits to different pages on the STM Sites.While using the STM Sites, you may encounter links to other web sites or online materials. Those other web sites and any online advertising servers delivering ads to STM Sites may set their own cookies, collect data, and/or have their own privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected by STM, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personally identifiable information you may disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms or discussion boards). When you voluntarily post information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be collected and used by other people to send unsolicited messages (or “spam”) and marketing materials.

Such entities and individuals are required to protect your personally identifiable information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and to not use such personal information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for STM.STM may disclose your personally identifiable information to any successor or to any person or entity that acquires ownership or control of an STM Site, whether as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of a web site's assets and/or services or otherwise. You hereby consent to the disclosure to, and use by, any such successor or subsequent owner or operator, and your continued use of the STM Sites signifies your agreement to be bound by such successor's or subsequent owner or operator's own terms of service and privacy policy.

C. How We Use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect.We currently contract with online partners to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. We use the services of a marketing company to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use the STM Sites. To do this, we use web beacons and cookies provided by our marketing company on the STM Sites. For example, we use cookies t (1) personalize your experience when visiting the STM Sites and using the STM Sites; (2) improve the design and content of the STM Sites and/or the Content; (3) analyze STM Site usage; (4) understand traffic patterns on the STM Sites and to authorize access to certain premium or trial content and product features and (5) track your usage of the STM Sites and/or the Content and to track your interactions with the STM Sites through third-party services. The type of information we collect includes pages visited, content reviewed, usage levels for content, traffic patterns and other similar usage information. By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing company logs the information coming from our STM Sites on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used. STM reserves the right to disclose or otherwise utilize this non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form, for any purpose, in its sole judgment.

Finally, you may request that your information be changed, corrected or deleted from our databases by writing STM at: Starz Media, LLC, Customer Relations, 2950 Hollywood Way, 3rd Floor Burbank, California 91505. Please Note: even if you opt out of receiving commercial communications from STM, we reserve the right to send transactional or relationship communications to you (e.g., if we need to contact you regarding your account status, technical support, product information, changes to the subscriber agreement, and any other matter that might affect our service to you and/or our records on you and/or any products you purchased from us).

E. Policies for Individuals Under the Age of 13.

STM does not knowingly collect or use any personally identifiable information submitted to the STM Sites from individuals under the age of 13, except in order to respond on a one-time basis to a specific request for information.

We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that whatever information you provide will be maintained in a secure environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or from our products or services, and you provide such information at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
